The left has been fighting Trump to 'resist' and so far hasn't learned their lesson to stop and consider what the grievances were that led the other side to elect a useful idiot like Donald J. Trump. Nobody should be surprised after it happens again in 2020
At the time of the 2018 elections most people were being led around by the nose, believing that Russia had something to do with his election.
Those days are gone and his poll numbers among likely voters reflect that fact. Anything over 48% among likely voters gets him reelected.
51% today.

As we get closer to the election almost all polls will switch and start talking to people who will vote. I have no idea why they bother polling people who don't count.....

No matter your political persuasion, it will be interesting to see if more young people come out to vote (Beto), if more black people vote (Kamala), and more Hispanics vote (Julian Castro). LOL, it could be a smorgasbord of voters!!!

Most Americans believe that Trump was not exonerated. His propaganda blitz didn't work.

But only one of those will be on the Democrat ballot. Actually it doesn't look like any of them will be, but 2020 is a ways off, yet.

MOST American who answer to polls DON'T vote, so I wouldn't worry about another silly poll.


And less then 100 people were polled.


NBC, no surprise.

Then why did his daily poll numbers among likely voters jump?



A majority of Americans now believe that the special counsel’s investigation into whether President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election was “politically motivated,†a sharp increase from when the poll was last conducted in January — before the investigation was completed.

umm, nobody honestly believes he colluded with the Russians. From the beginning the Russian angle was a scapegoat to help rationalize how he could have been elected to traumatized Hillary voters. The Ruskies hacking the voting machines was at fault, or so the story went.

There will be a new story now, they still haven't fully milked the white supremacist/homophobic angle yet. But Jussie Smollett sort of inflicted catastrophic damage to that strategy

'Never Trumper' Meghan McCain today on The View said Trump will win re-election, and she hates him more than the psychotic left hates him.





She's a complete nitwit, but she can't deny the truth.

Of all the things the right holds their nose about Trump to stay as president, his treatment of John McCain has got to be at the top of the list. The guy just has so many things wrong upstairs, but he is being effective for what he was elected for and everything is on track for another 4 years

McCain was a RINO fake, who cared more about illegal aliens than his own constituents.


In my opinion, at least.


No, I don't like some of the stuff Trump has said about him, but it's really kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme (to me).
